The Effects of Potassium and Chloride Nutrition on Seed Yield of Canaryseed

The effects of potassium and chloride nutrition on seed yield of canary seed, was conducted to determine the responsiveness of canary seed to K and Cl- and provide better recommendations to producers on the use of potassium chloride (KCl) in canary seed production. The project had five sites each year for three years of field research.

Project Description


This research should reduce the application of KCl when not required and insure that KCl is applied when required to increase the seed yield of canaryseed. Overall the profitability of growing canaryseed should be increased and the addition of unnecessary nutrients to the crop land of Canada reduced.
